View source for Mystique SaTiX-S2 Dual

A [[NGene_devices|nGene]] based [[DVB-S2]] [[DVB-S2 PCIe Cards|PCIe card]] from [[Mystique]]. It is identical to the [[Linux4Media cineS2 DVB-S2 Twin Tuner]].

==Overview/Features==
* PCI-e x1
* Dual Tuner DVB-S/S2 card
* Ultra-Low Profile

===Components Used===
* [[NGene_devices|PCIe bridge MICRONAS APB 7202A B2]]
* [[STMicroelectronics_STV0900|Dual demodulator STM STV0900B]]
* [[ST_STV6110A|Tuner STM STV6110A]]
* [[Dual LNB STM LNBH24]]

==Making it Work==

Make sure that the external power supply is connected!!!

===Firmware===

 $ wget http://www.digitaldevices.de/download/ngene_15.fw
 $ cp ngene_15.fw /lib/firmware/

===Driver===

 $ hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/
 $ cd v4l-dvb
 $ make
 $ make install

Note (2010-03-09): v4l-dvb Requires at least kernel 2.6.31

Note (2010-08-26): kernel 2.6.34/35 (maybe 2.6.33 too) has a driver (CONFIG_DVB_NGENE=m) included. Haven't tried yet since my mainboard is dead currently but it looks like that building it manually isn't needed any more.

===Multiple Frontends===

This device shows as one adapter with multiple frontends. If you want to use software that doesn't support it you can create symlinks. I use the following UDEV rule to ensure that each card keeps the same device number, and each frontend appears as its own adapter:

  /etc/udev/rules.d/10-persistent-dvb.rules
  
  SUBSYSTEM=="dvb", <font color="#ff0000">ATTRS{device}=="0x0374"</font>, PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c ' K=%k; K=$${K#dvb}; A=$(echo -n $K | tail -c -1); A=$(echo <font color="#0000ff">100</font>+$A | bc); N=$${K#*.}; N=$(echo -n $N | head -c -1); printf dvb/adapter%%s/%%s0 $A $N; exit 0'", SYMLINK+="%c"
  SUBSYSTEM=="dvb", <font color="#ff0000">ATTRS{device}=="0x0376"</font>, PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c ' K=%k; K=$${K#dvb}; A=$(echo -n $K | tail -c -1); A=$(echo <font color="#0000ff">102</font>+$A | bc); N=$${K#*.}; N=$(echo -n $N | head -c -1); printf dvb/adapter%%s/%%s0 $A $N; exit 0'", SYMLINK+="%c"
  SUBSYSTEM=="dvb", <font color="#ff0000">ATTRS{device}=="0x0377"</font>, PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c ' K=%k; K=$${K#dvb}; A=$(echo -n $K | tail -c -1); A=$(echo <font color="#0000ff">104</font>+$A | bc); N=$${K#*.}; N=$(echo -n $N | head -c -1); printf dvb/adapter%%s/%%s0 $A $N; exit 0'", SYMLINK+="%c"

The ATTRS{device}=="0x0374" part is the unique identifier of the slot the card is plugged into. The cards cannot be identified uniquely from each other as I have 3 identical cards.
The 100, 102, and 104 are the adapter numbers I am using for each card, the +$A adds the frontend number so that the two frontends will appear as adapters 100 and 101.
